Artcity 2007 Visual Arts, Calgary, Canada
Deadline 18
May, 2007
Artcity is a city-wide festival of art and
architecture located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It takes place
September 7th - 16th,2007.
Rupture: to breach harmony,
fracture, burst. State of being broken. Tearing of
tissue.
Fulmination of membrane. Moment between blocked passage
and settlement of violent motion. Force exiting confinement.
Outgrowing the space of walls. Fr. Rumpo. Pp. ruptus, to break. In
medical language: acute explosive disruption of the inner portion of
an organ by pressure from within or without. Resultant extravasation
of its contents exteriorly. There is a sense of movement and growth
in the city of Calgary. It is consistently defined by its physical
and economic expansion. If there is a momentum building to a point
of rupture, here, or elsewhere, what is it? Who are its actors, and
what body does it constitute; what body could it alter, or even
ruin? Rupture infers aftermath. An event of severance. What
constitutes the flood that would rupture the dam, the membrane, the
silently straining status quo?
We're calling artists to
submit proposals which engage with Artcity's 2007 theme: Rupture.
We're seeking works of performance, installation, multimedia, and
film/video that are of a highly critical and thought- provoking
stature that have the potential to operate within the settings of
the previous architectural pavilions. We also have a brand new
pavilion for this year's festival for artists to consider engaging.
These pavilions have made Artcity what it is today and continues to
evolve into: a vital locus for ideas and dialogue for the city, and
with its citizens. The confines of the site-specific works should
lend to the enactment of `rupture'. The winning selections will not
only derive their content from this notion, but will embody
`rupture' and its implications within the artwork itself.

MIX NYC
promotes, produces, and preserves experimental media-from film and
video to performance and music-that is rooted in the lives,
politics, and experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender
(LGBT) and otherwise queer-identified people. Founded in 1987, MIX
has earned a reputation as a crucible for artist-driven innovation
with an established international influence on the world of
experimental media. MIX is unique among arts and community-building
organizations for its work on behalf of queer experimental media
artists, supporting their production of new work, and making that
work accessible to the public. For almost two decades, we have
worked to create a home for queer experimental media. MIX is also
unique among New York City's cultural institutions. The annual New
York Queer Experimental Film Festival, our most visible and
longest-running program, showcases films and videos that literally
go unseen in other venues. We define "experimental" broadly to mean
not only films made using unorthodox techniques, but also those that
deal with subject matter outside of the mainstream. In this respect,
the MIX festival stands literally at the avant garde-the forefront
of artistic innovation-and serves as a proving ground for new,
socially conscious film. MIX NYC actively engages communities around
the city and the nation through on-site local and touring
screenings. We also preserve aging queer experimental films, such as
the early 16mm work of Marguerite Paris, to guarantee its endurance
for the future; and we operate a summer-long youth media training
program to provide a new generation of queer filmmakers with the
tools they need to make their voices heard.

ABOUT
ARTPORT
ARTPORT is a series of international arts exchange
projects that travel to several PORTS in order to create sustainable
artistic networks across cultures and to promote cross-fertilization
between the art world and the real world. With every project, more
PORTS will be added.
HURAKAN is ARTPORT's first project,
featuring exhibitions, panels, and residencies between New York and
Valencia, Spain, from spring-winter 2008. HURAKAN explores artists'
responses to Global Warming and creates synergies among artists and
climate change experts in order to generate awareness across the
Atlantic.
HURAKAN builds on the ties that have been created
between the two cities with Valencia's star architect Santiago
Calatrava designing the new World Trade Center transportation hub in
New York City. It is one of the cleanest construction sites in the
